He would have been team president with final say over personnel, so Cleveland must be giving him more money. I've thought Cleveland for a while, long before the job was even open, but once Seattle came into the picture that did seem to be the ideal fit for him. I still think Holmgren was a bit hurt that he actually had to interview with the Seahawks.

Ironic, they take the job away from him when he's head coach only to offer it a few years later.

i thought he didn't want to be on the west coast anymore anyways, plus imo the browns have more upside than the hawks as far a player personel

I would love for this to be a farce and the Redskins hire Holmgren as their HC.

Pass.. Why hire a guy who just retired last year and has indicated that he's not interested in coaching but would prefer a FO position?

It looks like it's gonna be Shanny, especially after the Cowboys win tonight so you don't have to like it but you're gonna learn to love it cause it's the best thing going.. WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I rather have Shanahan than Holmgren. Holmgren has lost the last 2 superbowls he was in. He could of possibly lost his first one also If it wasn't for Desmond Howard's 250+ return yards IMO.

Seattle only offered "Team President with final say on personnel? Instead of offering more money maybe Cleveland offered the GM spot? It was reported Holmgren was looking for a front office job possibly a GM position.
